These letters of recommendation are all real, but only a small selection of all the recommendations that I have collected in my tour book.
As a middle aged woman of average fitness, I couldn't have enjoyed todays hike without Deu. He was kind and helpful, carrying my bag, waiting patiently for me and not hurrying us along and offering assistance at steep or slippery spots. It's beean a fabulous day. A highlight for me was watching eagles soar. Deu kept an eye out for any eagle from then on. Thank you Deu!

Luckily we met you at teh beginning of our Nepal visit. It was our first trekking, our first experience in the mountains and we hardly knew anything about both. Thank you a lot for taking care of us, for showing us around, for get to know about your culture and your country and providing the best food and rooms for us.
Now we have so many beautiful memories in our minds which we can take home. Thank you for sharing so many great moments with us. We will never forget the sunrise at Poon Hill and all the other stunning views you showed us. In addition we want to say a huge thank you to your wife who cooked far the best Dal Bhat for us!

To all the others out there: If you are actually thinking about trekking with Deu as a guide, we can only give you the advice to do it!
Deu, without you we would not have learned so much about Nepal and we are so happy we met you. Thank you for being the most generous person and a funny, nice friend to spent time with. We are looking forward to see you again!

Oh my god! What an experience!
Deu, it was extremely attencious, very nice and kind. He was great choosing teh guesthouse, always making sure we were confortable and safe. It was two of us, two girls and he made us feel very safe. In our 4 days on tour, he did not only guide us but he explained about Nepal culture, landscape, animals, plants! What a teacher!
Thank you so much Deu for all your help and kindness.

Dear Deu,
you always took very well care of us and supported us wherever it could be done. You are such an "open minded guide" who is offering your help not only to us, but also to other trekkers we met (which were sometimes a bit lost). You are talking to everybody and you find so easily contact to other people just due to your friendly character. Not necessary to mention that we never had problems to find food and lodges right in time.Norbert Hug, Thorsten Peter & Claudia Braun

Four years ago I did my first trekking with Deu. When I returned to Nepal this year. I wanted to have Deu as a guide again, because he is the best guide and a friend. He knows the beautiful sites and makes good bargains with the hotels. I guess Deu as a guide makes the trekking twice as good.
This time I made the Annapurna Sanctuary tour. Last time I went for the round Annapurna trekking. Deu is a good companion, ha can make massage when there are injuries, ha is polite and friendly.
That is why I fully recommend Deu as a guide!Jaroen Heemskerk
